[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 49651, member: 2806"] I just searched my entire magneto restoration thread for the name of your company and capacitor and only found one place where I mentioned it, and that was in direct response to a post from you saying I had been saying bad things about your capacitor: from [url]http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=457560#Post457560[/url] [I]I searched the archives and can't find that I've ever made a single negative comment about your EasyCap. The sidebar about capacitors in my previous post is the first time I've said anything about your capacitors, and even then not by name.
